As soon as transport, hand labor and processing are free, this will be a great idea. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Landfill trash costs all the above, plus long term commitments of large pieces of land. My shop separates aluminum, mixed metals, paper and cardboard, tires and tubes, polyethylene plastic bags, and recyclable beverage containers each into their own category for recycling. It doesn't take a significant amount more time than dealing with these things all together as garbage. It only takes more containers. |

Re using "rubber" items has a history... although I don't know how successful it is. Pulverize tires have been used as an ingredient in asphalt and I believe that rubber "paver" blocks made from re-cycled rubber are commercially available. -- cheers, John B. |

Soon the entire surface of the earth will be covered in bins for sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-categories of recycling, none of which is in the slightest necessary. When there are only bins and no space left for people, these "environmental" people-haters will at last be satisfied that they've "saved" the earth. I thought you had more sense than this, Chalo. This is almost as stupid as banning DDT, and in the end will kill more of the most defenceless people on earth than banning DDT did: What the creepy environmentalists make us waste on dumb garbage separation could instead take several hundred million people out of famine (a euphemism for the torture of slow death by starvation) and life-long hunger. Andre Jute Some people never learn. They call themselves idealists. I call them dim and vicious, a bad combination. |

Pulverize tires have been used as an ingredient in asphalt and I believe that rubber "paver" blocks made from re-cycled rubber are commercially available. Unlike our old area[1], I now drop bicycle tires/tubes into a pile of motor vehicle tires when I drop cardboard, glass, aluminum etc. Even a busy month of bicycle shop rubber weighs less than one typical tractor/combine tire (of which there are many). The theory is fine but in practice bicycle shops don't generate enough mass to make this efficient except where my labor and truck costs are a 'freebie' input. [1] all-in-one-bin system (rubber not accepted), the most inefficient format. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Until I was laid off at a company I was writing a program that would keep track of every shipping container in the world at that time there were tens of millions and by today I'm sure that there are more than a billion. One of my hang-ups was how to discover when a shipping container was taken out of service for all the reasons they could be. You would think that in stead of building Tiny Homes, they would recondition unsuitable shipping containers into small homes for the homeless. They even stack well. |
